Do you guys remember that song? Its disco-era-ish. And well that's what I'm on. So I get on the scale yesterday - mind you I've been 223 for 3 days, and I'm back down to 220.2. WTH? I'll take it but I can't help but think its fleeting. I've been eating well - restricting my calories, eating protien, etc. My lower back is better so I will be exercising this weekend after taking 7 days off. Its absolutely gorgeous here outside so I have no excuse.
Last night I went to a Chinese buffett with my sister and her family. She's the one who exercises and runs everyday and is very phys fit. Well I hadn't eaten much all day - and I tried to eat some good stuff I'd put on my plate and I could feel it getting stuck. Remember, no one but my husband knows, so I had to pretend I was taking BusyBee to the restroom (she's been potty trained for only 2 weeks so its frequent trips to the bathroom for her!). I didn't think I would make and I couldn't talk to ask people to get out of my way. Then the staff who were restocking plates blocked my entrance to the restroom and I almost lost it. I couldn't speak to tell them to move - but I did barely make it. I don't know about the rest of you, but I make that back of the throat sound when I'm sliming. If someone else was in the bathroom, they'd think I was throwing up. Anyway, I don't even shut the stall door before I spit into the toilet. And there was this poor little 7yr old girl walking slowly by the stall staring at the spectacle of me. I think I scared her! LOL. Poor thing. Anyway, I got it back together and made it back to the table and could eat normally. I ate very slowly and my sister commented how little I ate. She's said it a few times over the last 6 mos - but she always knows I'm trying to lose weight.
On the home decorating front - I'll be painting my kitchen cabinets a nice, rich creamy color this Sunday. Mr Coconuts and I installed our own dark wood floors in the kitchen some time ago so I want to go with a light color. Then we'll have someone put dark countertops in. I just can't decide on the quartz color. I'll keep ya'll posted!
OOOOH those PB's sneak up and hit us when we least expect it! Had a couple myself lately. Good job making it to the loo though. The cupboards sound nice :)
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for stopping by my blog! We are right around the same place in weight terms and age (well, you are the youngster!) But I am way early in this band journey.
ReplyDeleteAnother thing we have in common: Decorating! I love it but it has consumed too much time and money in recent months, so I am trying to go cold turkey on that too (almost as hard as dieting).
It will be fun to follow you, good luck with losing more and more!
RC- I just found your blog! Sounds like you're doing well,I added you to my list so I can follow you. Sounds like we have a lot in common being working Moms-although you are more petite :).
